• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR426 - Enter an 'X' ?

  SAP Error Message: VR426 - Enter an 'X'
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR426 typically occurs in SAP when a required indicator field (usually a checkbox or a flag) is expected to be marked with an 'X' (which means "selected" or "active"), but it has been left blank or not set. This often happens in transaction codes related to sales and distribution (SD), such as when maintaining pricing conditions, output determination, or other configuration steps where certain flags must be explicitly activated.
  For example, in condition records or pricing procedures, certain fields require an 'X' to indicate that a particular option or condition is active. If the system expects this and it is missing, it throws the VR426 error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter 'X' in the required field: Identify the field where the 'X' is missing and enter it. This is usually a checkbox or a single-character field that acts as a flag.
  Check the screen or configuration step: Look for any mandatory indicator fields that are not filled.
  Review the context: If you are in a customizing or master data maintenance screen, ensure all required flags are set.
  Consult the field help: Press F1 on the field to get more information about what is expected.
  If in a program or custom development: Check the code or user exit to ensure that the field is being set properly before saving.
